Abstract: An impeller having blade members of arched configuration secured at their ends to a central support member such as an impeller shaft. Each blade member is twisted lengthwise through approximately 90 degrees to cause the blade members to produce a conical discharge flow. The blade members may be of unitary construction. A modified impeller blade has individually blade members mounted to a tubular support member. The impeller blade may be used in a multiple manner on a single support member.

Abstract: A propeller formed from pliable sheet material with each blade being of looped configuration in plan view. An end segment of each blade is turned inwardly and attached to an inner segment of an adjacent blade at a point offset from the propeller hub portion. A blade root of each blade is of reduced width and extends between a blade inner segment and the propeller hub portion which is apertured to receive a motor output shaft having frictionally engaged disks thereon which oppositely abut the hub portion for shaft attachment purposes.
